PU Injection Grouting | Buildcare Waterproofing Solutions

Concrete cracks are created by drying shrinkage, thermal movement, and other causes. If minor, they will cause no immediate problems. But over time, minor cracks often grow larger and cause major migraines, including water leakage.

Injection grouting is a process of filling the cracks, voids, or honeycombs under pressure in concrete or masonry structural members for repairing cracks, strengthening of damaged concrete, or masonry structural members.

PU grouting is mainly used to restore cracks and repair water damages  that  have

been done to walls, flooring, etc. It prevents cracks from leaking continuously and

it is used to maintain the structure’s operational integrity.

PU Grouting Process

1. A hole is drilled through the surface on a wall/floor/ceiling
2. Grout is injected
3. Grout expands to fill the crack
4. The hole is covered and sealed

Buildcare Waterproofing Solutions provide a comprehensive PU injection and grouting services to assess and carry out necessary repairs using modern methods.

 As soon as you observe any visible leak, it would be wise to take action to protect your property against further water damage.

The importance of Bathroom Waterproofing | Buildcare Waterproofing Solutions

Bathrooms are the major wet area in the house and it is important that the bathroom is correctly waterproofed in order to reduce the risk of structural damage occurring as a result of dampness, water leaks, or condensation.

Various risks arise if one does not waterproof the bathroom. The leaks in the bathroom can undermine the foundation of the house. The situation arises since the water may reach the timber boards making them rot.

Additionally, the water can cause concrete cancer which entails the rusting of the steel that reinforces the slab. Therefore, without waterproof, the house will start crazing and cracking thus it will not last for long.
